  • Deciding on Christmas gifts for kids can be hard! I know how easy it is to overbuy and to include junky gifts just because you are trying to fill a certain category or because your kids want certain gifts. This year, I really streamlined what we bought our three daughters for Christmas gifts and am sharing with you today! We chose very thoughtful gifts, with practical gifts, educational gifts, learning gifts, and gifts that they can learn through play. I hope this helps give you some ideas!

    ABOUT ME:
    Hi! I'm Sarah, mom of 3 daughters and wife to a busy chef! I have been a working mom from the start and have had jobs as an English teacher, nanny, daycare provider in our home, and now I focus solely on helping other busy moms create balance that sticks with my brand Work Life Glue. I am homeschooling and juggling creating a business while being a mom/wife/friend/daughter/sister/etc. It can be a lot, but I'm SO glad this is my life! I love to share how I fit everything in, how I keep our home organized and functioning well for my family, what I do to keep my girls learning and having fun, how I stay on top of all the things that come along with being a mom and homemaking, and so much more! I would love to have you as part of our Gluestick family, so please subscribe!

    Not related directly, but you said, “since I’m with them 24/7”. Um, feel that. Feel that so much as a homeschool mom. What are you doing to help break up your day and how do you schedule doctors’ appointments, etc? This is one thing that concerns me when I think of the long term picture of homeschooling.

    • @HomeschoolGlue
      @HomeschoolGlue  2 года назад

      It definitely is hard! I’ve never experienced anything differently besides having more kids when I did daycare so I’m used to it but it doesn’t make it easy that’s for sure! I did get breaks from one kid here and there with my oldest in public school last year but still not a full break. I have a lot of help from my mom thankfully which helps me out a ton! It can be very hard!

    I'm sure you thought of this already, but make sure you get some trays with high sides to use the fossil/gems kit....they are super messy lol. But my son loved them, he asked for them again and again for a few years. My 9 year old loves crystals, gems, fossils, minerals...I am planning to get her a larger kit, I forget it's name.

    *personalised childrens books* are really great gift ideas if you're planning to give to young book lovers, or even not. You're able to have the reading and learning experience be basically "tailor" made for them, creating a more engaging feel of interaction

Does an Elf on the shelf visit your house too?? I'm curious what ideas you would have for that as well 😉🎄 Thanks for sharing!!

    Lovely thoughtful gift ideas. The learning resources rock n gem set might be a good set for your younger girl as the older two are getting the gem dig kit but it is 3 years plus.
    I love the wooden playsets you are getting the kids if my kids were younger I would buy them but I have a teen girl and a 9 year old son so way past all that now. Thank you for sharing

    • @HomeschoolGlue
      @HomeschoolGlue  2 года назад

      I just looked up that set - so fun! If my youngest was a year or so older I think she would love it but too many small pieces for her right now. What a great idea though!
      Yes the play sets are so incredible! I’m going to be so sad when mine outgrow them!

    Does the Yoto have an alarm clock on it too by chance? I got my 3yr old daughter a Tonie Box because I loved the figurines/characters but I liked the card style for my 7yr old son but hoped it had an alarm with the clock.

    • @HomeschoolGlue
      @HomeschoolGlue  2 года назад

      Oh awesome!!! I’m glad it was helpful! I give them an Amazon wishlist - I keep one for each girl I add to throughout the year for myself as well as anyone who asks for ideas. Most family buy from that which is nice so we don’t get repeats or things we don’t have space for or won’t use. You can link non-Amazon stuff on the wishlists too!
